Timekeeping has always been a snarly issue fraught with peril when testing on
new hardware.  Are we confident enough that this will DTRT on almost every
platform, including all the busticated ones?  Seems dangerous to be merging
it for .27 when we're already past -rc5.

But if Ingo and Thomas want to merge it, it's OK with me as long as they
take the blame for it. :)
